Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 428 That's Your Skill

Entering the main room, Xiao Rongxi took his seat, "It's just noon, so let's have a meal with you."

"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, I will ask the kitchen to prepare some dishes."

Lin Jue ordered the bowls on the table to be removed, cleaned them up, and retreated the servants. Then he got up, and once again cupped his hands at the two of them, "I didn't know that it was His Majesty and Empress who arrived, and I thought they were irrelevant people, so I let the servant I declined, and I hope Your Majesty and Empress will forgive me."

Xiao Rongxi understood and didn't care, but instead asked, "Recently, there are a lot of people gossiping about you?"

This "word" naturally avoids the words of others.

Lin Jue's position is high, and he has won his trust. There are many well-informed people in Yecheng, so it is not surprising that they want to pay a visit.

Lin Jue smiled when he heard the words, "The project is huge and takes a long time, so there are naturally many people who want to get a share of it. When I first came to Yecheng, I met almost all the rich businessmen and celebrities here."

Even if you don't come to the door, you can still create chance encounters on various occasions. You will be tempted both openly and secretly. If you make a mistake, you may fall into a trap.

If he wants to supervise the construction of the river here, he must deal with these people. It is impossible to avoid them completely. But fortunately, in the past half a year, he has also figured out the way of the other party, and it is much more convenient to do things.

Xiao Rongxi looked up and glanced around, curled up the corners of his mouth, "However, from the perspective of your house's renovation, there should be nothing good about it."

Common tiles are used for the roof, and the furnishings in the house are also very simple, without any extravagant items, which may not even compare to the installations of the middle-class wealthy families in Ye City.

Lin Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, got up and poured tea and brought it to him, "If I'm really greedy, I can't let His Majesty see it."

"If I really can't see it, and no one exposes you, that's your fault."

The two looked at each other, smiled, toasted and clinked, and everything was kept silent.

Lin Jue took a sip, put down the cup and asked, "How long can Your Majesty stay here?"

"If there are no accidents, it will only be a few days."

On the one hand, it is necessary to observe the people's sentiments, and on the other hand, it is necessary to avoid the eyes and ears of the Prince Chen's Mansion and the Yu family. The route of the visit is adjusted from time to time, and the time spent in each place will not be too long.

Lin Jue nodded, "Where is Your Majesty temporarily staying now? There are trustworthy people in this house. If the two of you haven't settled down yet, you can live here, so I can report to Your Majesty in detail."

"We just arrived in Yecheng today and stayed at the Guangxuan Inn two streets away."

Lin Jue thought about it carefully, but she was a little impressed, "That's fine."

The kitchen moved quickly, and four dishes and one soup were served in no time.

In line with the rule of eating without talking, the three of them ate a meal quietly.After dinner, Xiao Rongxi and Lin Jue went to the study, while Nan Zhen wandered around the house alone.

It had been gloomy for half an afternoon, and it finally started to rain as dusk approached. The sky then turned black, and the shadows of the trees swayed like magic claws.

The rain was pattering at first, and after a stick of incense, it gradually became heavier, hitting the dark blue tiles with a dull sound, covering up the footsteps in all directions.

Nan Zhen originally sat leaning against the beauty and listened to the rain. After a few breaths, she suddenly opened her eyes, slowly sat up straight, and listened carefully. She could vaguely distinguish the sound of stepping on the water.

In the next moment, the guards in the house moved and fought with the visitor.

Nan Zhen ran forward along the long corridor, and when she reached the door of the study, she happened to see the door open, and Lin Jue and Xiao Rongxi came out one after the other.

There were a few people lying horizontally under the steps, wearing black clothes and black scarves covering their faces, they were dressed as assassins, but now they were out of breath, their weapons were scattered around their hands, and the blood on the ground gradually faded away after being washed by the rain.

Lin Jue drooped her eyelids, glanced at the assassin on the ground, she got used to it, raised her hand and told the guards, "Slow down."

"Yes."

The guards moved quickly, and after a quarter of an hour, the courtyard had returned to normal.

Xiao Rongxi's eyes fell on the clean slate, and asked, "Do you know who sent it?"

Lin Jue shook her head, "I don't know who exactly, but in short, they are all people who disagree with this project."

Ever since he took over this task, the assassination has never stopped, whether it is in the capital or here, it is the same.

At first, he would send people to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, but later, he was assassinated more times, and he didn't bother to spend time and effort in interrogating, so he killed them directly.

"Speaking of which, when I was in the capital, I was thanks to my mother for saving me; now I am working abroad, I have to thank His Majesty for the reinforcements."

Ordinary guards can't resist this wave after wave of assassins, the ones around him now are all sent by Xiao Rongxi to protect him when he left Beijing.

"Hmph," Xiao Rongxi snorted softly, "You really answered what I said, you have to be on guard all the time from the moment you lead the mission."

Lin Jue hooked the corners of his lips indifferently, "When they find out that this is a loss-making business, and the gains outweigh the losses, they will naturally stop."

He didn't take this matter to heart, he just looked up at the sky and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that the rain won't stop for a while, why don't you just rest here today and go back to the inn tomorrow? "

Feeling the oncoming moisture, Xiao Rongxi nodded and said, "Do as you say."

After Lin Jue heard this, she immediately ordered the servants in the mansion to tidy up a courtyard and come out. After dinner, Xiao Rongxi took Nan Zhen to the courtyard to rest. At dawn the next day, she left through the side door and walked back to the inn along the old road.

The inn, which was still a little deserted yesterday, was already bustling early this morning.
